Xinzhou Ancient City
MM41***79Self-driving tour of Xinzhou Ancient City in Shanxi. Although the weather was very cold, there were still many people watching the intangible cultural heritage. I was very shocked after watching it. It was really beautiful, with iron flowers, lion dance interaction, wind and fire wheels, fire, fireworks waterfalls, etc.
Wutai Mountain
文文明做人After flying directly to Taiyuan, I rented a car and drove to Mount Wutai. I stayed in a B&B for one night. The next day, I went straight to Shuxiang Temple, then went to Wuye Temple and Guanghua Temple. Since there are not so many people in winter now, the air is OK, but it is a bit cold. It is recommended to bring a thick down jacket.

The five masters worshipped in the temple are the legendary Guangji Dragon King Bodhisattva, which is the product of Wenshu Bodhisattva's localization and secularization in Taihuai, relying on people's wish to harvest crops, no disasters, family health, and everything goes well. Folk legend Wu Ye was originally black face, but Wenshu Bodhisattva became a five dragon king in order to help all beings, so the black face became a golden face. Wenshu Bodhisattva became a five dragon king like to watch the play, so he built an ancient stage opposite the five dragon king palace, specially for the five master.
Yanmenguan
峰峰一样的好男子The ancient road is full of west wind and thin horses, and the sun sets in the west. Every brick and stone of Yanmen Pass tells the past glory and vicissitudes.

Many people come here in a hurry, often come to the temple here in Taihuai Town. Shuxiang Temple, with Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple, Bodhisattva Ding, Luoyu Temple is not five major Zen places, but also Wutai Mountain Qing Temple one of the ten major temples. The temple, which was named because of the worship of Wenshu Bodhisattva, is said to have been built in the Tang Dynasty and expanded in the Yuan Dynasty, and was later destroyed in fire, and repaired in Mingxuan for six years. The most famous is Wenshu Pavilion (that is, the Great Hall). The statue of Wenshu riding a lion is worshipped on the Buddha stage in the middle of the temple. The total height is9.87 meters. This is the tallest statue of Wenshu in all the temples in Wutai Mountain. It is the remains of the classic works of Wenshu riding a lion in the Ming Dynasty. This time it is not very coincidental, the building behind the Dawenzhu Hall is under maintenance, and it is not possible to visit, a little regrettable.
Luya Mountain

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can look out at the endless planation surface and feel the double shocking beauty of nature's mountain-building and planation.
